The Irish Setter is one of the most popular breeds of setters. This setter is elegant and beautiful. Irish Setters, which originated in Ireland, were bred primarily to work with hunters to hunt game birds.

The Irish Setter comes from several different breeds, including the Irish Water Spaniel, Spanish Pointers and the English and Gordon Setters. These dogs were carefully interbred to produce the stately look and demeanor of the modern Irish Setter.

The Irish Terrier is a wonderful medium size dog that can live in an apartment as long as she is allowed frequent long walks. A properly fenced in yard would be ideal for this dog to get her exercise but pay attention to possibly burying a part of the fence into the ground as she is a digger. She wants to sleep inside with her+ family as she is a serious people protector. She is often called a daredevil because when it comes to protecting her family, she is unconcerned with her own well being. Keep her under control when outside as she may leave to experience an adventure. She is good with kids in general but may fight with other dogs. She can not be trusted with other smaller pets. She will require early socializing and obedience training should be started early. She can be a handful but once she is trained, you should have a long lived, healthy, protective dog.

*Good With Children? They are generally good with children, especially older considerate ones. As a reminder, never leave a young child unsupervised with a puppy or dog.
